Painted Ponies

Trail of the Painted Ponies

In 2001 in the southern United States a group of artists were invited to decorate life size resin pony models to produce works of art.

They were exhibited as the Trail of the Painted Ponies in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ponies were then chosen to be sponsored and exhibited in prominent sites in New Mexico and people followed a trail to see them. Each pony was then auctioned for charity.

These pony figurines have been created in ceramic or resin and are about 6 inches (15cm) long. Inspired by the original Trail of the Painted Ponies artists have continued to produce designs to add to the original collection.
